Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has made the rare decision to name both Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain in his starting line-up for Saturday's Liga fixture versus Granada.

With Benzema and Mesut Ozil coming into the starting line-up, Kaka and Jose Callejon both drop to the bench after starting in the 3-2 Copa del Rey triumph over Malaga on Tuesday.

Elsewhere, Sami Khedira is recalled into the side, coming in for the injured Alvaro Arbeloa with Lassana Diarra reverting to right-back.

Madrid have changed their centre-half partnership for the game with Sergio Ramos returning in place of the suspended Pepe while Raphael Varane comes in for Raul Albiol.

A victory for the home side would open up a six-point lead at the top of the table, with Barcelona not due to play Espanyol until Sunday.Real Madrid: Casillas, Diarra, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; Xabi Alonso, Khedira; Ozil, Ronaldo; Higuain, Benzema.
